"You're saying this was spread by the Sheng Family? The Sheng Family harbors treasonous intentions?"

It was because of these rumors that the Empress had been so anxious to find Su Qiao and her mother and shatter them.

Of course, she was also secretly worried. She feared that after her death, there would be no one to inherit the throne and imperial power would fall into the hands of outsiders.

"Treasonous intentions?"

Su Qiao looked at the Empress, who was still kept in the dark, and truly didn't know whether she should pity her.

She pulled four or five letters exchanged between the Sheng Family and Prince Lie from her robes. "Your Majesty, you should look at these first."

The Empress opened one of them and quickly scanned it, then opened another.

The more she read, the more intense the killing intent in her eyes became, and the deeper the Cold Qi around her grew.

"Over a month ago, Sheng Ling colluded with Prince Lie of Great Jin to kill me. She led five thousand elite soldiers into the village and tried to massacre it, but I outmaneuvered and drove them back. Later, I followed the fleeing soldiers to the enemy camp, where I happened to find these."

"Heh, the Sheng Family is nothing special after all. They actually thought ten cities would satisfy Great Jin's appetite."

Su Qiao genuinely thought the Sheng Family was far too naive.

For the sake of power, they had become so foolish that they invited a wolf into their home without even realizing it.

"How outrageous! How outrageous!"

After reading the letters, the Empress angrily slapped the table.

Only after a long while did she gradually calm down.

"You came here tonight. You didn't come only to deliver this to me, did you?"
